By now you’ve likely heard the craziness of some conservatives about Starbuck’s holiday cup design. You’ve probably heard about it because of one idiotic attention whore, who claims to be a pastor, Josh Feurerstein. He apparently managed to finally have a video go viral (trust me, he’s produced some doozies in his efforts to get attention), where he raises a stink about Starbucks, because of their holiday cup design…plain red with their green logo.

There’s a CNN interview available on YouTube:

He thinks he’s cute because he wants to “start a movement.” That movement is to go into Starbucks, and when ordering, tell them your name is “Merry Christmas,” so they have to write it on the cup, and say when they call you. How very clever.

Poor StarbucksThe AP reports that a California Judge has ruled that Starbucks has to pay it’s California baristas more than $100 million in back tips and interest that the coffee chain paid to shift supervisors.

Good Times at the Polk County Jail
Seems two detention deputies were smuggling in marijuana for one of the inmates. Deputies Michael T. Redmond, 23, and Jarrett R. Brice, 35, resigned after being arrested Thursday night. Redmond, whoÃ‚Â was assigned to the south county jail, delivered marijuana to inmate Freddie “Tryes” Street six times. The marijuana was given to Redmond by Street’s girlfriend, Latifah Bilal, 25, of 417 Century Blvd., Auburndale. Brice was altering visitation logs so Bilal could visit more often than allowed. No wonder there are so many repeat offenders.
